Gran Turismo 5 2.01 Released, New B-Spec Seasonal Event

The latest version of Gran Turismo 5, version 2.01, has just been released. Weighing in at 112MB, it provides a number of bug fixes, patches, and tweaks. Here’s a complete change log:

[Major Changes and New Features]– Compatibility of Kart Space I/II with cars other than racing Karts
It is now possible to race on Kart Space I/II of the DLC in cars other than racing Karts in online races and in the Free Run of Practice.
(In the one make races of the Arcade mode and Practice, the courses are still limited to racing Karts.)

– Expanded the car restrictions in the Online Lounge
It is now possible to simultaneously set [Car Restrictions], [Performance Points], [Power], and [Models] in regulation settings. ( [Vehicle Tuning] must be set to [Unrestricted] and [Car Restrictions] must be set to something other than [Select from Garage].)

[Other Improvements]
– In the Open Lobby, it is no longer possible to vote to kick out the person who created the room. (If the player leaves the room after creating it then comes back, they are then subject to the vote.)
– Adjusted the force of the steering wheel returning to center after a race when using the “Guillemot T500RS”.
– Improved the steering model when driving racing Karts with the DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller, to prevent overly spinning out.

[Correction of Known Issues]
– Corrected an issue where the BGM would stop playing when returning from the Lounge to the Open Lobby.
– Corrected an issue where if further engine tuning was performed on a car that already had engine tuning, the engine tune field would become incorrect when changing setting sheets.
– Corrected a discrepancy in the numerical figures in the setting sheets.
– Corrected an issue where wheels and horns would become different in every setting sheet change.
– Corrected an issue where the removal of aerodynamic parts and wings would not be implemented when changing setting sheets.
– Corrected an issue where the TCS and ABS settings would change when changing setting sheets.
– Corrected an issue where if a certain operation was performed when using a steering wheel controller with an H pattern gear shifter, the shift lever position, gear position display and the car operation would become mismatched. (On the Logitec G25 Racing Wheel, Logitech G27 Racing Wheel, and Guillemot T500RS + TH8RS Shifter.)
– Corrected an issue with the key assignments on the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel.
– Corrected an issue where the driver hand motion did not match the steering wheel motion.
– Corrected an issue where autopilot would not be disengaged after returning to the course, when resuming an endurance race where the pit lane was entered at overspeed before saving.
– Corrected an issue where the Practice ranking board would reset if the weather change/time change setting was changed when editing an existing track in the Course Maker edit screen.
– Corrected an issue where no courses could be saved in the Course Maker if the update (2.00) was installed without going through earlier updates.
– Corrected an issue where an error would occur at game start if the update (2.00) was installed on a system that has a save data that has never been updated from the first version.
– Corrected an issue with the Hybrid System simulation on the Toyota Prius G Touring Selection ’03, Toyota Prius G ’09, Toyota Prius Touring Car.
– Corrected an issue on the Ferrari F10’10, where drivers were experiencing random vibration.
– Corrected an issue where the wheel color would not appear correctly in pit work, if the wheel had been repainted.
– Corrected an issue where the [Reset to Default] button was not functioning on cars that originally come with turbo kits, when other turbo kits were installed.
– Corrected various other issues regarding the update and the DLC.

A special new “Online B-Spec Challenge” Seasonal Event, the first of its kind, has also been made available. As you might expect, the races are for your fastest B-Spec driver and take place at the following locations:

What about turnig the secudria farrari” i think that’s how u spell it” and the italia 430 into r.m.’s.

The b spec seasonal event was pretty easy for me

Miklad

Has anyone noticed that if you play a replay of a crash, then rewind, the damage is inflicted again and again and again… fun for photo mode!

:D

Oct. 28, 3:00am

montecarlo87

With all that’s been happening with the game in just the last couple months I think this game will be tons of fun right up till GT6 comes out. Which in itself should raise the standard to the stratosphere.

Oct. 28, 2:47am

Kesl

Yesssssss, they fixed the F10 vibrations. Awesome.

Oct. 28, 1:13am

Oobbergear

I don’t mean to nit pick or w/e, its great that PD are doing things to improve the game, but has anyone noticed that you can’t drive cars on the kart track in time trial/arcade mode? Like anyone would’ve expected that if they let you drive it in GT mode and race up to 16 players in cars on the kart track, why not in arcade mode split screen or time trial? it’d be cool if anyone has an answer to that, but I guess PD is already doing more than enough so thumbs up for them!!!!

Oct. 28, 4:19am

darkpigraph

i would guess that the track is just too narrow for more than one car to fit into sideways.

Oct. 28, 5:35am

David Brooks

yes, I did notice that. i wanted to race karts split screen with a friend in arcade mode but the kart tracks aren’t there to be selected – can only get them in the special event. Seems a shame.

Oct. 27, 11:57pm

84GTB

…Has anyone thought the B-Spec races were…too damn easy…?

Oct. 28, 1:14am

Oobbergear

There’s nothing wrong with that lol

Oct. 28, 3:28pm

GTP_Remo

Pick a car that is lower PP than the field, I’ve seen lots of complaining about A-spec B-spec being “easy”… well duh when you pick the highest perfoming vehicle you can ofcourse its easy. Try matching performance or under, see how that goes. Won’t be so “easy”

Oct. 27, 11:48pm

flamingchariot

In answer to your question Supertom14:-

I used the Merc Evo 190 II on the High Speed Ring, Amemiya Asparadrink RX7 with full race tranny etc and a few tuned items like med turbo and stiffened body. Used JGTC R34 Xanavi R35 GT-R for Tokyo, I tried my XJ13 race car but it kept spinning out even with a level 30 Bob. I caught 1st on the penultimate lap as it was The Zonda R LM and it was lapping 16 secs faster than me to begin with!

Oct. 27, 11:51pm

Supertom14

thanks

Oct. 27, 11:35pm

Supertom14

never mind

Oct. 27, 11:55pm

84GTB

Used my S2000 (Premium) with no turbo–has full-custom trans and drivetrain with an adj. LSD; weight reduction and engine work with all the trimmings (intake, exhaust, etc.) and ride-height suspension. I’m pushin’ about 340+. To me, it worked really well for both tracks. Won 1st place. For Tokyo R246, I used RM Corvette with 710+ hp…

Oct. 27, 11:33pm

for the 500pp in Rome

Can I make request to have kart space playable with two player in arcade, please!!!

VicGuanajuato

Hahahahahaha! That’s true!

Oct. 27, 9:41pm

justmakethiswor

Just wanted to say thanks for the stealth cars and great job on the DLC. Please give us the Test Track (with drag racing capabilities). It would also be interesting to be able to put the Test Track in a sort of Sunday driving mode where there are random model cars driving at random speeds, kind of like what you see on the real life nurburgring and the autobahn. Also, would be nice to get Seattle! Other than that more 2011, 2012, and other concept cars please!

Oct. 27, 9:21pm

Sweet, better way to get the penultimate trophy, raise Bspec to top of career :D
Amazing updates as always, best games developer around. FACT.

FORZA SPEND TO MUCH TIME ON SOUND THAN THE ACTUAL PHYSIC OF THE CAR.THAT WHAT INNOVATION IS, WHO KNOWS WHAT DOOR KAZ IS GOING TO OPEN UP, GT SIMULATOR COULD BE A TOOL FOR UP AND COMING RACE CAR DRIVERS AND TURN THEM INTO CHAMPIONS U DON’T THINK THAT’S POSSIBLE

Oct. 27, 5:55pm

AstonMartinGT5

I think it already is :D

Oct. 27, 3:12pm

danger23

I would love to see real life1/4 mile drag strips with real pass times on gt5, like on ”pinks’.’

Oct. 27, 2:59pm

ICBMCanada

Honestly, my biggest bug-fix for this update is the endurance race saves. I was pissed right off when I raced 6 hours of Tsukuba and then had to go back to reality, only to find when I resumed the race that my race was doomed because the AI decided it was going to drive for me and then never pit again. Seriously, I must have tried about 4 or 5 times after that to suspend / resume a race after only doing 1 lap, and it never worked, even when I coasted into the pit stop at 20 km / h.

I’ve tested it now and it works great! I no longer fear the endurance races, this is the big update that I have been waiting for.

Dec. 10, 7:47am

GT5 X1

Aww that must suck. I hate the Tsukuba endurances too! Good luck with future races!

Oct. 27, 12:53pm

Psycho Tuber

Spa and Kart I/II seasonals please. Thanks!

Oct. 27, 4:21pm

ml_paladin888

I highly doubt they’ll make seasonals using tracks that some people may not have access to

Oct. 27, 10:58pm

daics69

yeah there’s no way there’ll be seasonals for the dlc’s. unless the sales dry up perhaps, and they want/need more revenue. i wish there would be because i could spend half my life on spa, and the other half on the ‘seizure’ inducing jap go-kart traks. peace

Oct. 28, 4:23am

darkpigraph

I don’t see why not, i mean sometimes there’s two seasonals in a week – i would love to see a Spa 2 or 4 hour endurance series – each event for a different class of car.

To Kaz and his crew! One of the few game producers who sticks with his visiion and trys to keep his gamers happy.
It really is Kaz’s game. He just let us share it with him. He is still commeted to making it everything he envisioned.

But he also takes our coments, and those that make since he tries to act on. The only thing we need to know in order to understand him is simply that he “LOVES” cars. And I suspect competition involved in racing too. LUCK FOR US.

So Kaz, how about some FIA GT class 1,2, and 3 cars and paint schemes? Make sure the power/torque numbers match per class. And for tracks, Special Stage Route 11, Lime Rock Park, Silverstone or San Luis circuit, in Argentina?

Oct. 27, 11:01pm

daics69

unfortunately NFS SHIFT 2 has the contract for those cars aswell as the license to porsche. maybe it’ll be in gt6 or dlc once the contract runs out, whenever that’ll be. fingers crossed

Oct. 27, 11:49am

Diatribe777

I love the interactive eye-candy B-spec presents..thanks PD!

Oct. 27, 11:44am

Miklad

B-Spec was easier than I thought.

Stratos, RUF BTR, BMW McLaren GTR – in that order.

:D

Oct. 27, 11:28pm

recca

b-spec was never hard..the hardest is the stupid nascar races..omg that was a piss off, other than that everything was easy, breezy, beautiful cover girl =D

Oct. 28, 6:42am

Miklad

Agreed – the NASCAR stuff was… painful. :D

Oct. 28, 10:14am

MasterLeaf

I never had problems with the B-Spec NASCAR or FGT Championship.

Oct. 27, 11:23am

Projectoutlaw

I noticed a glitch. I was in an online lobby for over an hour and when I came out my clock in the upper right hand corner said it was hour 30:00 and it was day 115 of the month. Thanks to that my sign in bonus went back down to 110%. I have been working hard at keeping it at 200%.

Oct. 27, 12:03pm

GT5_Honda_Guy

Working hard. lol
All you have to do is turn on the power and start the game.
Sucks about the glitch though, never heard of that one. :(

Oct. 27, 11:02pm

daics69

c’mon honday guy, outlaw may have pulled a tendon in a finger, sidelining him for a week lol weird glitch. haven’t heard anything like that before. maybe its ur ps, rather than gt5

Oct. 27, 11:12am

is it possible to use the dlc in both accounts pls respond? because i want to buy a card half with a friend

Oct. 27, 5:56pm

So I assume that the DLC is still tied to the game disc region? Maybe some one should ask Kaz if they can implement buying DLC from another region.

This looks so awesome, I hope I get a psn $20 card soon. I’m dying to get the DLC. But this makes me feel super comfortable. :) Thank you Kaz and PD. You guys are the greatest ever. :D “Hi five for you all!”

Woulld be a good way for those who haven’t bought the DLC to test it out. Good idea!

Forza 4 is still better.Im a get me an xbox.

Oct. 27, 7:36am

tika

You go do that then, buy A grapy Xbox, buy A copy of F4where the cars maybe look nice but the tracks look like grap. And overpay A10 for they DLC which you will need to do the play the game. They deliberately leave parts of the game and bring it out as DLC, and ripyou off.

Oct. 27, 8:17am

TokoTurismo

@P_S_Y_C_H_O_L_O
Please don’t be jealous of the good direction Kaz and PD are heading too with thier fans and us. We know you are. Now off with you. Do not need someone like you comparing games all the time. U_U

Oct. 27, 9:35am

linupix

Got an xbox, let us know what you think once you start playing Forza 4 ;)

Oct. 27, 12:51pm

vabeach311

I got Forza and played it a lot for about a week and put it away, probably for good. It just cannot hang with GT5. With it’s DLC for Forza 4 you buy it, download it, then once in the game you still have to buy the cars AGAIN with credits earned or purchase MScredits. It is a scam. It can be fun, I would recommend it for those that are not big into car games. GT5 is the best car game ever, just keep the seasonals and DLC coming!

Oct. 27, 3:28pm

danger23

yeah ur psychoooooooooooooooo “KAZ” is a vetaran at this thank them(people of gt) for pushing the envolope if wasn’t for the idea being creative you wouldn’t have forza.foeza vs GT5 NO CONTEST IT’S LIKE ASKING A FAT GUY TO DO A HURDLE LOL.JUST THINK FORZA IS JUST FOLLOWING THE LEADER AND GT5 INNOVATING AND FORZA JUST ASKING FOR PIECE.

Thanks for the update PD! There is just one thing I noticed…
“- Corrected an issue with the Hybrid System simulation on the Toyota Prius G Touring Selection ’03, Toyota Prius G ’09, Toyota Prius Touring Car.”

Just drove the seasons events, is fun for once.
The first two races were exciting until the last lap, midway between the last round on the first position.
The third and last race was to easy, in round four of the ten I had the first position, and after ten laps and I had four cars lapt.

SO does the G27 now work and is fully Configurable in the menu option of GT5?

Thanx

yep

Oct. 27, 5:32am

Maxymilan

YES!
Now i can use the E-Brake on my G25 without stupid bugs and now i can drive my F10 without the car breaks my steering wheel when driving too fast <3

Not sure if someone mentioned this already, and I didn’t see it listed anywhere in this update or the last one for that matter, but maybe they snuck it in on me when I wasnt looking, but anyone else notice:

**you can now take photos at x2 magnification in the race photo mode, not just the photo travel mode like it was before?**

sorry if this was already covered.

Oct. 27, 4:54am

I found a bug. After 2.01 the game reset to default Aero Settings if u switch from Setting A to B or C.

Oct. 27, 4:54am

– Expanded the car restrictions in the Online Lounge …. Thank you very very much !!!! Hell yeah!

Oct. 27, 4:34am

kevboi

Im not complaining – i love the seasonal events and the B spec one is a good idea – something different. But i would love a rally seasonal event even if it was just a time trial or drift trial. Chamonix and the eiger full trakes are awesome but think ive only drove round them twice, compared to tsukuba which ive had to drive round about 100 times and i havent done the 4hr and 9hr endurance races yet!

Oct. 27, 4:04am

Cool! An other update for the last update :) When will we get the update for this update? Can’t wait lol

It is my birthday and I just got a giftticket from GT. love this game :D

Oct. 27, 8:25am

Happy birthday buddy. :D You see, that’s the thing I like about Kaz, PD, and GT5. They actually gift you birthday gifts when it’s your birthday. :) From my birthday, I was gifted a 1991 Mazda 787B. To this day I still thank Kaz and PD for gifting me such a present. I love it dearly and will always remember it. ;) That’s also why I love GT5 so very much. It’s the best ever.

Oct. 27, 11:28am

Dave_Panic

It’s not quite so brilliant if you were born in 1979. Anyone need a 32 year old, orange Honda Civic? ;)

Oct. 27, 12:17pm

AnPrionsaBeag

I was born in 75 and unfortunately for me it’s the only year without a single car in GT5, so I got nothing at all. Don’t complain!

Oct. 27, 1:29pm

Slonkoo

@Dave; prety much understand you :) got my self an ’78 Nissan Fairlady Z 280 :D but its ok.
Was playing Call of Duty for years now, paid lot of money for mappacks and stuff and still no gifttickets from Infinity ;) am just surpraised :)
(damn my english sucks :D)

I installed the update and now Kart Space I/II have completely disappeared from the game. I can’t “reinstall” them either… Spa is still there though…wtf is up with that?

Oct. 27, 2:41am

cvflyboy

@BWX I do agree. I never liked the whole Bspec idea but I applaud everything else in the update

Oct. 27, 8:54pm

belovedconsole

I love the B-spec, it’s a whole different way of racing. It gives you clues into how the AI of the game work, and as you watch in “driver cam” mode (not regular replay mode, but cockpit, or whatever) you really get a sense of the failing (or awesomeness) of your particular driver. Learning how to improve their lap times helps to improve your own, and understand what tires and cars can handle what courses and turns at what speeds. I learned so much just from trying to level up my B-spec people (I think we’re around big level 13 now woo hoo) but it’s also fun to name your drivers and outfit them: my Connie Chung driver is always in pink, whereas Vincent Price tends to wear gray… :)

never really liked the idea of B-spec in seasonal’s………and now I KNOW I HATE THE IDEA!!!!! i really look forward to really racing the seasonals myself. All the other stuff they have done is FANTASTIC!

Oct. 27, 2:29am

Great, a bugfix update.. BUT what the hell?? No A-Spec seasonal at all? B-Spec sucks.

Oct. 27, 1:54am

OMG!!!! I love this game. picking up my g27 Friday, been plying with a DFGT since release date but now im gonna really feel the fire. XD… thank you everyone at PD you guys are the best. I got all the DLC but i don’t want to play untill I pick up the g27.

Oct. 27, 2:09am

BWX

Having a G27 is great, I have a G25, but with B-Spec it doesn’t make a difference. That proves B-Spec is worthless.

Oct. 27, 2:54am

MadmuppGT

But with B-Spec you can earn some much needed cash while making a cup of coffee, or out to the shops, or even taking a dump… OH yes, with B-Spec you maybe on the can, but youre still a fan *THUMBS UP AND SMILES*

Oct. 27, 7:11am

occasionalracer

^^ OH yes, with B-spec you may be on the can, but you”re still a fan”. Kaz would like to make this the official B-spec slogan… what better way to attract more gamers to this feature.

Oct. 27, 12:30pm

researchALLwars

lol !! you guys are insane.

Oct. 27, 1:29am

esh

Huge!

Those of you that complain so easily and obviously don’t work anywhere near IT in general need to understand that these issues that are fixed in this update were probably known FAR before the public release of Spec 2.0 and take a TON of man-hours to complete. Show some gratitude.

Oct. 27, 2:02am

I guess I should really start using b-spec mode..

Thanks now all the lobbies are drifting at Kart space WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That’s why competition always trumps a monopoly. Likewise, Forza wouldn’t be of the same quality as it is without GT looming shadow.

Interesting point.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Sony put pressure on PD to release Spec 2 and the DLC’s at the time they did in an effort to steal some of Forza’s thunder on release day. It doesn’t bother me, as we end up getting new features, cars, tracks etc

Fingers crossed we get a livery editor in the next major update.

An issue I’ve noticed is that with some standard cars, (mostly large cars) specifically the Dodge RAM 1500, you don’t see exterior parts of the car from the interior view; when you look behind, you can’t see the bed in the back, just empty space behind the rear window…

Oct. 27, 6:39am

Vortex1be

Thats because the rearview cam is on the back of the car. It’s not on the same place as the frontview cam… It’s not the greatest idea to do that in my oppinion… And if we talk about looking behind. I don’t see my car’s interiour in the rearview mirror in cockpit view. And i don’t see the sides of the car in my outside rearview mirrors, but I guess it would use to much RAM to do that. So it’s not really a PD issue more of a ‘sony had their head up their ass when they created the PS3 and put just 512MB of RAM inside’ – issue…

Oct. 28, 12:52am

Quakebass

Well, in the interior view of the dodge RAM 1500 looking backwards I could see the the rear window and the supports for the roof, but not what was behind it – the bed of the truck. And you can see through the window, so the camera isn’t at the very back/rear bumper of the car…

this 112mb download is taking me nearly 45mins…typical of gt5 or do i need some new network hardware??

Oct. 27, 12:01am

PS3LUV3R

Mine took around 3 minutes, a little slower than usual (honestly).

Oct. 27, 12:07am

Watain

too my system less than two minutes
but other updates that have been smaller have taken longer
i find it always varies greatly

Oct. 27, 12:29am

GTP_Remo

32 seconds to DL

Oct. 27, 12:32am

RACECAR

Took only two minutes on my end.

Oct. 27, 12:51am

Kilvoctu

Yes, it seems your network config could use some work.

Similar to others, it only took about 40 seconds for me.

Oct. 27, 11:05am

Scozia Stradale

You need new hardware man took me like 2-3mins

Oct. 27, 4:58pm

slashfan7964

Took me 8 minutes.

Oct. 27, 11:27pm

Only took me 3 seconds to download and install. Weird…

Oct. 26, 11:31pm

Awesome! My friend (who just got a G28 yesterday) was complaining of all of that stuff! Good news for him!

Oct. 26, 11:31pm

Nice Update. Thanks PD.

Oct. 26, 11:29pm

Quakebass

YES! A new and better way to cash grind while doing homework!

Oct. 26, 11:27pm

if only my recently received replacement machine worked, id be booting this up now, but no ive gotta get in touch with sony yet again and tell them the machine they sent as a screwed up bd drive :@

Oct. 26, 11:26pm

Catlin

– Corrected an issue where the driver hand motion did not match the steering wheel motion.

OH MY GOD

Oct. 26, 11:51pm

chriz00

” OH MY GOD ” is what I thought so too, but I think they meant the “hand motion” & “steering wheel motion” in the game…not the DFGT or w/e steering wheel you’re using.

:(

Oct. 27, 6:32am

Vortex1be

I think Catlin means it is pretty OH MY GOD that they put time in something that small and that there are more important things to fix. However I can’t name anything that is important and isn’t in that list. xD

Oct. 27, 12:25pm

researchALLwars

no, thats not small. When you crank the wheel with some gusto and the onscreen driver hands/wheel just slowly rotate about half of your actual distance– it can be a bit distracting. Concentration is key, grasshoppaaa..

I hope this is what has actually been remedied.

Oct. 27, 5:37pm

researchALLwars

.

it is. the wheel animation has been given a dose of speed. Like, Derrelle Revis-type speed. Hell to the yes.

Oct. 26, 11:25pm

I literarily spit on my screen saying “B-spec Seasonal?!” out loud. Didn’t see that coming…

Oct. 26, 11:25pm

Kalmiya117

So, what about the LSD settings on the TC cars?

Oct. 26, 11:24pm

At least none of the tracks in the new seasonal are Tsukuba

Oct. 26, 11:24pm

B spec seasonal? Bad ass

Im really falling back in love with GT5…this is awesome more dlc pd!!!

Oct. 26, 11:17pm

U2Edge

Not to nitpick, but is this an improvement?

“In the Open Lobby, it is no longer possible to vote to kick out the person who created the room.”

If the host goes out to take a crap and is gone for 30 minutes, why should we all have to sit there?

Oct. 26, 11:24pm

onigod

So you can hear his/her response of how good it was.

Oct. 26, 11:27pm

Quakebass

^^^^ Yeah, there should be an option to “temporarily change leader”, and vote on who, and for how long, based on the average votes. It could be overridden by the actual leader when he gets back.

Oct. 26, 11:40pm

EliteDreamer

Or like an auto host. Somewhat like the GRID servers.

Oct. 26, 11:47pm

SZRT Ice

Or, if you don’t like the way the “Host” is handling “His Room”, leave and “Create Your Own”.

Oct. 27, 12:24am

Quakebass

@SZRT Ice

Well, sometimes the host just leaves his game running and everyone just sits there… This is especially annoying when you’re having fun with the other players and the lobby has great settings – if you leave then you’ll have to spend 10 minutes or so creating a new lobby with all of its settings, and unless you add up to 14 people as your friends, then its really hard to find those other players again.

Oct. 27, 12:33am

Kilvoctu

Not hard to find those players when you tell them the new room’s name and attributes/restrictions.

Oct. 27, 1:07am

shmogt

Ya the no Kicking host thing I’m not liking too much. I been in rooms where the host just disappears for hours and won’t start the race or he’s the biggest idiot in the room

Oct. 27, 3:11am

SKOT_FREE

Then leave his room and create your own. Geez the nerve of some people.

Oct. 27, 3:25am

Grand Prix

This is a brilliant feature. It means people can actually set tire restriction to Sports tires without being kicked out of their own rooms.

Oct. 27, 4:15am

HKS racer

Sport Soft and even Comfort Soft… You noobs out there get ready

Oct. 27, 8:33am

TokoTurismo

I’ve waited for that. :D Yay no more depanding about “worring if others wear super softs in races.” Sweet. Great shot Kaz and PD. :D

Oct. 27, 1:41pm

ocelot-prodigy

this is what the “Automatic Race Timer” function is for.

when I step away from my PS3 while I’m hosting, I set it up for 6-10 minutes before each race. thus, creating a room that keeps the races going even when the host is not there.

Oct. 27, 2:48pm

Tvensky

its very good update! i had been kicked seveler times by some kids.. who think that driving with driving aids ON is cool… :( if you dont like hosting just change the room… yes there are alot of bad rooms but there is alot of good ones!

Oct. 27, 3:27pm

Snaeper

Well there was a situation where I was in a room with a number of other people all enjoying some good racing when the host left… putting the only Frenchman in charge. We wanted to start the race and he wanted to continue to do hot laps, even though we tried asking him to start the race in French and we even started ganging up on him and ramming him into the wall so he would get the point… finally we rallied everyone together to vote him out of the room so things could start to move smoothly again.

I think the feature should be changed to “Anyone who isn’t the original host of the room can be kicked.” So in the event that the original host leaves, we don’t all have to leave to start a new room too… especially since we’re not friends and it’s silly to add each other on PSN just to race together for a day.

Oct. 28, 5:20am

Tvensky

Snaeper – agree!

Oct. 28, 1:07pm

Blksentra2

That’s funny Snaeper!

Jay Leno Tankcar is even more impressive :D

Oct. 27, 2:31am

Is it weird that I hate Jay Leno and therefor have never driven that car? Is it sweet?

Oct. 27, 2:27pm

ToplessGT – yes very weird!

“Corrected various other issues regarding the update and the DLC.”

I hope the Track Settings button is no longer an instant disconnect button for us DLC users.

Oct. 26, 11:15pm

I knew Kaz still cared for this game :) Look at all those issues that were fixed!

Oct. 27, 8:33am

I agree. :)

Is it just me,….or do the shadows get better with every update?….I dont think PD announces graphical updates

Oct. 27, 2:27pm

I notice some minor changes in graphics! but very little changes! it does get better..

Oct. 26, 11:15pm
